The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
The most important isotope, 32S, has 16 neutrons.
For the other isotopes: number of neutrons = Atomic Mass of the isotope - atomic number
Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
Sulfur has 16 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope: Number of neutrons in a sulfur isotope = Mass number - 16
Sulfur is an active natural life giving element.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral sulfur atom is the same as the atomic number of sulfur, which is 16. However, the number of neutrons can vary: Four isotopes of sulfur occur naturally, with 16, 17, 18, and 20 neutrons. Some 95 % of the atoms in a typical sample have 16 neutrons per atom.
16 for both
Sulfur is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 32.
Sulfur has 16 neutrons. To find out how many neutrons an element has you subtract the atomic number of that element by the atomic mass. omg thank you so much
Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.
Phosphorus and sulfur both have 16 neutrons.
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
Sulfur has 16 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope: Number of neutrons in a sulfur isotope = Mass number - 16
It is only the protons that matter in classifying the element. Sulfur has 16 protons (An atomic number of 16).
Because that is the number of neutrons one atom of sulfur contains.
Sulfur is a non metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
